The Ladies' •Aid Soeietyof the Bap tist cluirch' will have a supper at the residence of Mrs. Keeler, Wednes day evening, March 2. Among those from Laporte who took in the Sunday excursion to the ice gorge at' Cattawissa were Mrs. Charles l.anden, Miss Bessie Wredc, Messrs. F. 3VI. Crossley, W. 15.

A little girl, Mis* Elinor Reattie, while playing "with one of the press es at the kindling wood mill at La < 1 uiii Saturday afternoon, accidental ly stepped on the tread, causing the [ifess to close on her hand, breaking one linger, tearing the nail from another and badly crushing the others. I' Sehanabacher, stage driver be tween Forksvijle and Lapbrte, had an exciting experience Saturday liu,ruing which he does not care to go-through again. While making i his daily trip with the mail, hu met J a team drawing a heavy load along; the narrows near Shanerburg Run j wiiere it was found necessary to drop j on'e of the traces, and in passing, the sleigh caught, which heightened Mr. Schiinabacher's team and they start ed to inn. The pole dropped from j the yoke causing one horse to crowd I the other, over a steep embankment' thirty feet high. With timely as-1 sistancc Mr. Sehanabacher secured | planks and make a temporary bridge across the creek over which the liorses were led. It was necessary to take the team back several miles along the creek before they could be gotten into the road. Although badly bruised and cut, the liorses are not thought to have any perma nent injuries from their fall. An apppoal lias been taken from the decree of the Court of Quarter Sessions which established the Bor ough of South Laporte. The appell ants are the F.lk Tanning Company, John W. Flynn, Win. A. Kennedy, !•:. .1. Mullen and James McFarlane. John W. Flynn is superintendent and W. A. Kennedy the boss tanner of the F.lk Tanning Company's tan nery at Laporte. E. J. Mullen Esq. has been attorney for the remon strants from the beginning of these proceedings and is now acting as attorney for the appellants in con nection with Rush .1. Thomson who is attorney for the Elk Tanning Co. James McFarlane is the storekeeper at the tannery. Thomas E. Ken nedy, Burgess of old Laporte, acts as sponsor for the appellants in the ap ; plication for a Supersedeas. The Certiorori for the appeal is made re turnable in one year from the Bth of March, and the effect <>f the Super sedeas, if granted, is to stay all action on the part of the officers in South Laporte until after the Borough elec tion of 11105, and would prevent the electors of South Laporte from hold ling au election at that time. It is | noteworthy that out of the sixty eight citizens who voted at the polls n South. Laporte at the last election there' is only one who joins in the appeal, and that one an attorney in ' the proceedings. As the Klk Tan ning Company is not in business for its health it is apparent that the j cum puny considers it profitable to control the borough which is the County Seat of Sullivan County, Benton, Columbia county,was vis ited by one of the worst fires in tht history of the town last week when the large store of Smith, Mather & Co. was destroyed by fire. It is j thought the fire original d from a i defective Hue, aud the entire build- i ! iug aud contents were consumed by 1 the ttames, entailing a loss of $25,000 only partially covered by insurance. To those parents who take any in terest in their children*' future wel fare both in education and success, the writer wishes to give a word of advice. First: Suppose the teacher ot the school in your distriu does not meet your expectations, be care ful how you broach the subject to your children, for, unfortunately some children will carry such mat ters from mouth to mouth, all the while making it worse or enlarging it to suit the occasion. If your proceeding teacher has taught your school for several con secutive terms, it is only natural that your next teacher will not be satis factory to every parent in the dis trict, as both pupils and parents have become so embued with the former teacher's ways that they expect the same from all other teachers. Second: The habit of teachers buy ing or bribing the pupils to obtain the required results of successful teaching, is one of the greatest evils of school work. Prizes are all right in their place, but the constant prac tice of buying a pupils confidence and obedience cannot fail to have evil results, to say nothing of the situation in which it places the fu ture teacher of the school. This practice of bribery will grow into a habit which will cling to the pupil after they have reached maturity, and they will expect it from em ployers and in all business associa tions. You can see that in time it will cause ill feeling never dreamed of by the teacher who was responsi ble for the habit. The greatest help to a teacher, especially a young teacher is en couragement from the parents of the pupils. This will help him to over come many obstacles and to do far better work. Do not be too hasty in your conclusions, for perhaps you became prejudiced toward your new teacher before giving him a fair trial. a T. B. I'. NOTICE OF SPECIAL, APPEALS.
